NBA 2K21 is an utter disappointment with the lack of innovation and some reasonable step up from its predecessor. Driving force behind this year’s current-gen edition is that it possesses a better AI, some less predatorial microtransactions and few new animations. Sadly, that is not even enough to repay its price of 60 euros, and it is a true example of terrible practices that rules sports games.

Looking for a football simulation? Carry on. Looking for an over the top, long running, wacky football anime reincarnated as a video game? Well you already know this is the thing you were looking for. So have fun! We sure did.

A solid contender for the title of the best new age arena style shooter. Weird concept with little balls running around, shooting at eachother, but other than that, solid fun, good weapons, nice mechanics and free to play.

Wasteland 3 is a technically and visually flawed work of art. It is a true successor to the cult cRPG franchise, both masterfully written and designed, where the player is presented with a true impactfulness and meaning to their choices and decisions.

Sea of Thieves has successfully redeemed its clumsy launch with Rare being a developer that fully commits to the title with monthly updates for more than two years. Now – it is a game brimming with content, adventure and gorgeous pirate atmosphere with arguably being the best pirate game available and a truly fun multiplayer experience.

Do not do this to yourself, if you want to play this game (which you should) go ahead and play it on any other platform than Nintendo Switch. This port was so poorly done that it made me wonder am I losing sight.

Even though some of you might find enjoyment in the survival element of this title, ridiculously slow loading times, progress, strangling repetition, unintuitive controls and a surprisingly annoying hunger indicator, made this author seek enjoyment elsewhere. No doubt there is quality here, but my hands were just too tired from digging to look for it any deeper.

The game is for SAO fans primarily, and everyone else not even secondary but way in the back. There is a huge amount of story and dialogue and some times, not enough clunky combat as it is.

Project Cars 3 has an identity crisis, with it’s lacklustre AI and many failings and dropping of many simulation aspects that made the core of the franchise developed by the community. It is a ruthless and utter disappointment to any who backed it. At the same time, it can’t be described as an utterly bad game, because underneath of all of its flaws, some true fun can be found.

I wish this game lived up to the slogan „A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch!“. The storytelling really does not unfold enough making this insufficiently interesting game. Beautiful to the eye but empty.

Othercide is a fantastic rogue-like-Xcom-like turn based strategy game with an awesome Noire-Gothic design. The initiative feature is a fresh twist to this genre and the soul-crushing sacrificing of the Daughters are the morbid features that make this game shine. This game will keep you stuck to the screen until you win.

Ghost of Tsushima is a flawed game. But, at the same time, it is as much as innovative, remarkable and one of the best atmospheric games of all time. It has its problems with camera and repetitive activities, but its beautiful open-world, innovative interaction with it and overall great story and one of the tightest combat systems are the sendoff for PS4 anyone would ask for.

Gerrrms is a cute party game, that will, unfortunately, grow stale pretty fast. But if you do enjoy it more than it could ever be predicted, there's no harm to be found in this simple and colourful, harmless bacteria brawl.

Fall Guys is a hilarious game everyone needs in 2020. If someone does not know that, tell them! Jokes aside, this is a complete Battle Royale experience based on popular Japanese TV shows with a plethora of wisely designed mini-games and gummy characters.

Another masterfully done remake from top to bottom. Jump into an aliens skin and reek havoc upon the humans with blasters and space saucers. New and old players should definitely look to picking this remake up.

Death Stranding on PC is the best way to experience this journey. Game is much more than a walking Sim, it mixes and matches a ton of brilliant new ideas and game mechanics. It is bursting with atmosphere, and the overall quality of the production and presentation is fantastic. Other than minor issues and some non-consistent storytelling, Death Stranding shows us that boundaries can be moved in the today gaming world.

Beautiful Desolation is a gorgeous game, with unique Afro-futuristic world waiting for you to explore it.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is a real racing simulation, which is not something that can be said for most games. But as it is an advantage for serious driving fans, it is also a major flaw, as it will hardly attract new players. The biggest flaw of the game is it’s low and inconsistent frame rate, which might push off even the biggest fans if not dealt with in the near future.

Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

After a stellar remake of an arguably the best Resident Evil game ever made, Capcom has let down our expectations by giving us a more scripted, more linear survival horror action game that will probably be forgotten like so many sequels that have gone the path of less resistance when it comes to game design. RE3 make feels more like a DLC than a full-blown game.

What a time to be alive, and a Final Fantasy VII fan at the same time, as the promises and pleads have been fulfilled. And in what way! This remake does almost everything right, and where it fails - it is just the dust in the wind. Gorgeous looking, beautifully told through well-written characters and their interactions, amazing combat, wonderful music - this game has it all. Minor flaws are just a sign that perfection is what you strive for, and not what you reach. Yet it promises even better sequel(s), which is something we can believe in with ease, after a grand piece of work such as this. Do not miss it.

Search for hidden objects through time, hide them yourself later. It is a short but immensely fun and relaxing game.

Deep Sky Derelicts poses as a true original dark sci-fi roguelike experience, successfully distancing itself from Darkest Dungeon clone title it received. With its definitive edition, even with lack of compelling narrative, it is a rich experience with a huge depth of combat, exploration and customization that is to be expected from such experience.

MW2 Campaign Remastered is everything you can expect from a remaster of one of the best CoD campaigns and FPS campaigns in general. It looks better, it feels better, even with its occasional audio issues. Still, it is a bit short, and unless you are a true fan or just nostalgic about those days you played it, it is hard to recommend to anyone else, due to its lack of multiplayer and lack of longevity.

Amount of work put in this game is incredible. It was hard to imagine that one game with combine classic FPS mechanics with supernatural abilities, but here we are. Bright Memory is a short but sweet experience, more of a demo than a game, but it will probably be compensated with the next planed game.

Bleeding Edge brings refreshments to the hero-shooter genre, with complex gameplay, variability in play-styles and crazy characters. Unfortunately, the content offered here is not much, and Ninja Theory should work on this aspect in the future.

A tower defence game that tired, but ultimately failed. It is unfinished and hopefully, we will see a better game with updates in the future.

A Fold Apart is a simple but short puzzle game with an interesting mechanic that explores relationships and difficulties of modern non-verbal communication.

Experience world-famous trucks and deliver various cargo across sunny Michigan, snowy Alaska and beautiful Taymyr. SnowRunner takes you on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes and widely recognised landmarks. The game isn't easy, you need to carefully think about every move you make, but that's why it's actually so rewarding. Having said that, it's a niche video game and will not be to everyone's taste.

This game might sound interesting to Chinese history aficionado but it falls short as it was not polished enough as some of its predecessors.

Rescue Team DX may be a remake, but it does not improve the original formula in almost any way. While the graphics and HUD had an obvious overhaul, the game is a repetitive yet somewhat charming and conflicted experience, that offers quality at the expense of some pretty weird and lazy solutions. Yet if you are a fan, you should not miss this one.

One's Justice 2 improves the original. Yet the core of the game - the fighting, can grow stale pretty fast. The game looks amazing, especially during certain fights, combos and special attacks, but the joy won't last long unless you have a similarly excited friend to share a couple of hundreds of local matches with. That is the one scenario, this game will not fail at.

This has got to be the best "souls" clone yet. It is perfectly balanced, has tons of customization and improvement options, a great character editor and hundreds of satisfying challenges that will get you to improve, with each step you take. Weaker story and several minor flaws, do reduce the perfect score, but this is still a strong "9 - I would die again!"

MLB The Show 20 presents itself as a great package, improving on most of its gameplay mechanics, including batting and fielding experience. With plenty of game modes, great Diamond Dynasty and online experience, and plenty of new animations it is a significant upgrade of the last year’s The Show 19, and proving itself worthy of purchase, by avoiding to follow the example of copycat sports franchises like FIFA and NBA 2K.

This is an excellent collection of even better Mega Man games. With the new options, it gives a chance to even new players to join and experience it. While leaving enough new things and old memories for the veterans to once again experience and nostalgically remember.

Conglomerate 451 is an atmospherically impressive cyberpunk dungeon crawler that doesn’t take many risks. Although it is playing safe, it provides the player with a great atmosphere, deep gameplay and some of the best cyberpunk environments to date, despite its repetitiveness and balancing issues.

Activision wisely used his second chance at providing Call of Duty Battle Royale game. Besides great gunplay, players are offered with some pretty interesting innovations in the genre, such as mini objectives and fighting for a chance to get back in the Gulag.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a definitive Animal Crossing experience, no fan should miss. Lots of great additions, make for the most customizable game the series ever had. Build homes and furniture, but also change entire island landscapes, in this everlasting source - of things to do.

Pillars of Eternity II arrives on consoles in it’s the best edition with all additional content, completely bringing all of it’s best aspects to console gaming. With its rich non-linear narrative, astonishing world and lore and interesting characters and both real-time and turn-based gameplay, it still is a great game, even with its bad optimisation and confusing control scheme for controllers.

Monster Energy Supercross 3 is a mild upgrade over its predecessor, posing with average boring career, but some fine gameplay improvements in some of its misdoings in past. Multiplayer experience provides a lot of fun though, especially with some of smaller modes of the game, but over time, this upgrade isn’t worth your money if you played earlier installments.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a game you should play only if you meet two very important requirements. First - you've seen the show. Second - you loved the show. Any other scenario and you should most definitely skip this pretty basic, bug-infested strategy RPG. Not that there is nothing to love here. It's just not worth digging for it, unless you really, really love this franchise.

A game that will define all future games. If this masterpiece is running on a PS4, imagine what we could do on a PC.

Warlander is a souls-like rogue-lite that has a lot of great ideas, but so little of them are done well.

Street Fighter V rises to the occasion with its Champion Edition, adding much-needed content in one whole package that was supposed to be part of original Arcade Edition. Even though it is still riddled with some of the technical issues and balance problems, it’s a most complex SF game so far and can provide hours upon hours of fun with its diverse new moves for each character and fun challenges to fulfill.

After the successful entry to the DOOM franchise with DOOM (2016) id Software just couldn't surprise us that much. And they probably didn't want (or need) to - they just upgraded every aspect of the game for a little bit, making it that much fun, entertaining and brutal. The gameplay is probably one of the best we have played in a while - fluid and engaging, forcing the player to continuously fight the hordes of evil (with the new batch of demons from the original DOOM from the '90s of course). The story is, on the other hand, a complete mess and platforming elements not the strongest point for id Software.

After 9 years, To the Moon still brings tears to our eyes.

The DX port does a lot of quality of life improvements and brings the whole Dust trilogy to a new light with increased resolution and more colourful graphics. If you have not before played the Atelier series this is a perfect game to start and show what it's all about.

Its a wild, crazy, weird world out there. And you and a fellow victi…friend will be able to explore it. If you have been looking for an actually fun and enjoyable survivor exploration game then look no further. Even with a few hiccups, it can still be a nice adventure.

AO Tennis 2 is a blatant rehash of AO International Tennis, posing as a false new game. It improves bits of gameplay and career by a really small margin, but still prevails in its weird and unrealistic gameplay that is neither arcadey nor simulation-based. It never tries to rise above it and just presents basic and lazy short-term tennis experience.

Shovel Knight Showdown truly delivers a genuine 4 players brawl action, in the famous and recognizable Shovel Knight fashion. If you like fighting games that are easy to learn but hard to master, this might be your shovel of tea. Cup I mean.

A very few games can compare to Kakarot in terms of sheer love towards the original series and storytelling qualities. Not without its set of flaws that leave only regret not being even greater, Kakarot still manages to be a great game for fans. No, scratch that. It manages to be an amazing game! May they not stop here, and deliver more and more of love-letters like this. If it goes in the right direction, the next one could definitely be legendary.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is an FPS game, where armies of mindless zombies are taking over the world, under the leadership of Hitler himself! It's up to you to help stop them and save the world - once again. Sounds fun? It is fun.

A short and fast-paced beat-em-up that needs more gameplay mechanics, but is still fun to play.

For a quick introduction into the World of Darkness setting it’s a fine novel to read through and play through. But it has some rather quality of life options that are missing from this type of game and they should not be missing. Give it a chance if it's on some nice sale.

Touring Karts in VR is a nightmare. Hit detection issues, dizzy turning and overall janky performance, make this a much more pleasant experience with the PSVR headset off of your head. Which kills the entire point of this being a VR game, but at least delivers a... Slow-paced, boring and uninventive experience, where only a few points hit the mark, and the rest is just not worth your while. Better luck next time, VR racing games.

The Park is a short, well written psychological horror that has a few unfortunate mechanics and cheap jump scares, but delivers quite a punch with the story's strong sides. It may not be the peak of the genre, but for an hour or two of the length it offers, it should keep you intrigued and entertained enough.

King of Cards delivers a great epilogue for an even greater Shovel Knight saga. It is cleverly designed, has that old school vibe we all love, and a really cool move set for our new hero. Joustus, the card game is a great addition, but since it is pretty much a mandatory element, it may throw the entire tempo of the game down to the danger zone.

There is no school like the old school! This game brings out the nostalgic arcade feels in the best way imaginable. Try every rocket and power up imaginable to be the last rocket flying, or the rocket with most kills on your belt, to be the Nuke King or plain spaceball champion. The universe at your gunpoint! Play it with friends, single-player is not really where it shines the brightest.

Phoenix Point should be the spiritual successor to the XCOM games, but it only presents itself with some big staggering issues on top of its innovative and fun gameplay ideas. In the current state, it is so poorly balanced and riddled with bugs, its hard to recommend it, while only hope remains that the developers will fix some of these problems in future patches.

The arcade classic hits the Nintendo Switch and surely is a thing to be happy about if you are into chaotic, cooperative-multiplayer action-platforms. For skillful fingers, there is a lot to love here. On the other side, all the less experienced players are going to get from this Killer Queen, is a ruthless sting of the losing streak. So beware.

Sweet, but short as cup of an espresso. In the time where it seems that adventures are a dead genre, it's good to see anything that resembles on them. And that's about it. Find the chips bag murderer and don't fall in love with hippo. Madness, but a good one.

Fight'n Rage is a truly fun and nostalgic beat ’em up experience that will wake those old days in players pretty easy. Even though it lacks some features, like online multiplayer, it is sure to provide more than a few hours of fun in its local co-op and versus modes, with its wide range of game modes.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is one of the most fun and compelling voxel and creative experiences the genre can afford to a player. Even though it fails to use some of its features, as a co-op, and it possesses some smaller misconceptions here and there, it truly is a fascinating building RPG experience with the amount of content to provide you dozens upon dozens of hours of fun.

Detroit Become Human is finally released on PC and it was worth the wait. The story is good enough, the consequences of your choices really affect the narrative and the audio-visual design is really spot on. That being said, running it on PC with hardware even above the recommended specs can sometimes be a little sloppy, with occasional frame drops and stuttering.

Lightmatter is created as a spin-off to Portal games, but with very unique and challenging mechanics of using light sources. Using aesthetically pleasing high contrast graphics, players will learn to navigate through levels and solve puzzles that get more complicated with each passing level.

Tokyo Dark Remembrance is a really interesting dark indie game that mixes point-and-click with visual novel story telling. Its rather casual approach will easily grab even new players. And its only faults come in the form of it being too short.

Seemingly an innocent, cutesy and easygoing game, Woven offers lots of stuff to do, for the younger part of the gaming audience. Yet an eerie feeling may surprise a few of you veteran gamers out there. As the clunky animations and clumsy looking characters, seem almost intentional. Almost as if to promise a surprise in form of an animatronic Freddy, that seeks to catch you off guard.

The Stretchers may stretch that smile over your face, with its funny ragdoll physics and clumsy multiplayer moments. It may be short and lacks replay value, but for the while it lasts, it is sure to bring a bit of hilarious sunshine to that rainy day, we all get to live sometimes.

Stranded Sails draws inspiration from many titles, but does not upgrade the borrowed formula in any way. Instead, it simplifies the experience, making it accessible and simple, yet rather bland if you are more than just a casual player. On the other hand, if you plan to grab this for a kid - it's a pretty great choice. You can watch him play, and get enough of fun just by the great and warm visuals, that really do stand out.

A mobile game disguised as a switch game. Story of a Gladiator has some depth hidden but never shown.

If Minecraft had a hammer, it'd crush Riverbond to the ground. Nah, it's only a joke, as it is fairly repetitive and easy, yet fun little title you can enjoy with up to 3 more friends, cooperatively. With lots of voxel explosions! Pretty...

Victory of gaming as an art and the pinnacle of creativity in the gaming industry. A true, impeccably-polished masterpiece that will set standards for a decade to come.

Pokemon Sword is a very safe and standard Pokemon game the likes we have seen over the many years. Its quality of life changes are many and greatly improve the feel of the game. But with Dexit, lazy asset transferring from previous games, and many missed opportunities to improve it still falls flat of being the dream Pokemon game we always wanted to play.

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighbourville is a stellar dive into hero shooter waters for PopCap. With its great level design, great multiplayer and ton of content, it overcomes some of its flaws like lack of campaign and is sure to give tons of hours of PvE and PvP fun.

Need for Speed: Heat is the first good step for the franchise in years. Devoid of micro transactions, providing some Underground-like neon vibes with it’s best customization system, it can provide more than a dozen of hours of fun, despite it’s dead like world design and irrelevant and boring story.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is sixth installment in the franchise, as it stands somewhere in the middle. It may not be the best, but surely isn't the worst of them all. It looks superb, has a few really outstanding mini-games and even a selection of 10 retro styled ones for all you nostalgia lovers out there.

Even though dear professor is missing on this one, his daughter still manages to keep the flames of the series' spirit bright and burning. It is a loving and relaxing adventure that may not be as epic and mind bending as before, but still pretty much close to the original charm. Whether you go for the better and older, or newer yet still a great title, there is no wrong choice here. Leave the thinking for in game…

Respawn has shown us, and EA, that single player games are well enough alive and kicking and has set a bright future for the Star Wars franchise of videogames if they keep this up.

A mini golf arcade game, you play in your everyday home. Over 130+ levels of improvised mini golf courses and simple controls, make this a fun but entirely basic, arcade experience. At least it has multiplayer, so... Hurray?

Year after year, Sports Interactive again managed to give us another great Football Manager game. Using the same structure as before, with many little improvements, FM20 is so far probably the best football simulation we ever got.

Civilization VI in its fullest ultimate form debuts on consoles strongly, transferring all of the parts of a beloved strategy franchise onto controller and TV screens. With its expansions and rich content, really well balanced learning curve and heavenly presentation, it is a must play for any strategy lover.

Blacksad: Under the Skin is a great first step of famous noir cat detective into the world of gaming. Even though your experience will be riddled with graphical bugs and some unoriginal design choices, the story and characters will buy you and take you for a fun detective ride for a few hours.

3rd Eye offers quite simple gameplay with interesting story and art style with some really serious psychological theme.

Isometric Darksiders spin-off that does not do Strife any justice.

A long-awaited localization of the next Trails of Cold Steel instalment is finally here. If you haven't played the previous ones, don't bother with this and go play those instead. But if you have, you know exactly what to expect here and feel free to get excited. It is a great game.

Sumo Warrior dancing party sounds like ridiculous fun, unfortunately, Tetsumo party only serves ridiculous boredom.

PC community finally got a great game that offers advanced tools for level creation as in the Super Mario Maker franchise. Million to One Hero offers the ability to create your own stories and adventures and include dialogues filled with humor.

Well, at least it an RTS. It has that as a plus side, but nothing else.

A rhythm game with great visuals but too little to back them up. Dodgeball is just a theme here, and the action is simple. Well, at least music and visuals are nice for a single walkthrough and a few local multiplayer matches. Just don't expect too much.

Stygian is a masterful, and pretentious cRPG that bravely immerses you into the world of HP Lovecraft in the eeriest and non-linear level. It presents great storytelling influenced by writer’s diabolical cosmic horrors and at the same time, it is a fully-fledged fun turn-based RPG that lives up to the names of much more famous and expensive games in the genre.

WRC 8 is a great rally game, especially for the players that don`t want serious simulation, but something pretty close to that. As the fourth game from this studio, it appears Dirt Rally has a tough competition.

First-person puzzle platformer resembling the much-loved Portal, but lacking in storytelling and replayability value.

Code Vein brings a few interesting additions to the recognizable souls-like formula. It's stylish, anime-like and has some cool moves & classes, and lets you bring an AI friend to keep you from feeling lonely while being really useful in combat. Well, most of the time. If you are itching for some quality souls-like experience, try this - it could be just what you were looking for.

Great visual design and detailed progression system, but gameplay can quickly become repetitive and tedious.

Autonauts is a perfect game for gamers that want to step into the world of programming with simple mechanics and cute graphics.

CoD: Modern Warfare presents some of the best, although short, singleplayer experience franchise had to offer in a long time. On the other (multiplayer) hand, it has some of the funniest and satisfying gunplay, all riddled with bad map design and some unrefined new game modes.

If you are up for some cute, simple and potentially cooperative action RPG experience starring a cat and a dog, well this game will be right up your alley. Not too long or complex, yet truly can satiate your hunger for the cute... And some hunger for the action and RPGs. Give it a try! If nothing, it will make you giggle.

Concrete Genie is a stylized marvellous platform that will channel your inner artist. Too bad VR support is not more integrated into the core gameplay.
